Post-It Reaction: The State Of The Nation Address 2018

The president has released another bombardment of statements in the form of the SONA, The State of The Nation Address. Once again, I am here to share my thoughts and opinions on what our dear president has said during the said event. There are a lot of good points that he has said and I would just like to give a reaction. The biggest statement that he has said that everyone is talking about is "Your concern is human rights, my concern is human lives." Now, what he said was right and wrong. Right in the sense that he actually cares about human lives but wrong in the sense that he doesn't care about human rights.

What is independence? Independence is  a condition of a nation, country, or state in which its residents and population, or some portion thereof, exercise self-government, and usually sovereignty, over the territory. It's about freedom. Freedom from everything. (http://firsttimetravels.com/taal-city-birthplace-of-the-maker-of-the-first-philippine-flag/) When this question was asked, I was left thinking about something that I didn't know I would be thinking of.

Teknolohiya: Ang Daan sa Mabuting Ugnayan

Ang ating gadgets ay nakakatulong sa maraming bagay. Halos lahat na ng mga tao dito sa mundo ay may sariling gadget. Marami tayong ginagawa gamit ang mga gadget natin, kagaya ng paglalaro, pagnood, pagsaliksik at kung ano-ano pa. Talagang pinadali ng gadgets ang ating buhay. Sa tulong ng teknolohiya at gadgets, halos lahat ay pwede nang magawa sa isang pindot lang. Paano kung gagamitin natin ang ating gadgets sa pakikipagugnayan? Pwede nang magawa yan ngayon. Dahil sa teknolohiya, pwede mo nang makipagugnayan sa kapwa. Mas pinadali na ngayon ang pakikipagugnayan. Imbes na magsulat ka pa ng liham para makipag-usap sa taong malayo sa iyo, pwede mong gamitin ang iyong cellphone para kausapin ang tao. Ang teknolohiya ay nagiging isang daan sa mabuting ugnayan. Hangga't maari, gamitin natin ang ating gadgets para sa mabuti at di para sa masama. Wag nating gamitin ang ating gadgets na sumira ng buhay ng kapwa.
